The Pain Brought by Fertility

My theme is fertility and pain.

When I settle on a fertility topic, I think of "cow". In my culture, the cow is a symbol of diligence, but in my opinion, this "diligence" is another kind of toil. Our mothers endured this kind of toil, and we, as a female, are likely to endure this toil in the future as well. And, I also likened "toil" to the "box" that traps us, and we will live in the "box" for the rest of our lives.

There are countless cameras and screens around the "box". These cameras are like society's gaze on mothers, in which the real issue of mother's fertility is being overlooked.
